Two days later, in Bazhou City, on the review stand in the big drill ground, Li Zhongyi rode on the back of the bloody slaughter, condescending, looking down at the soldiers who were waiting for the battle.

In the entire large training ground, more than 100,000 soldiers stood solemnly in the spring breeze, neatly arranged in front of the review stand.

It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain!

The armor is dazzling, the spear is like a forest, the flag is like the sea, and the artillery is like a wall!

Everyone's attention was focused on Li Zhongyi, and everyone struggled to prick up their ears, trying to hear Li Zhongyi's upcoming speech clearly.

"Soldiers, robes, since the late Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of my Han nation have never crossed the white ditch, which is a great shame for our descendants of Yan and Huang! Today, I am determined to lead you, not only to cross the white ditch, but also to go straight to Youzhou, to get back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun that our ancestors once left us, but were lost for a short time, to expel the Tartars, to restore our rivers and mountains, and to repay the ...... with blood."

"Banish the Tartars!"

"Restore my rivers and mountains!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

On the big drill ground, a thunderous roar sounded, deafening, and it went straight to the ninth night!

The military spirit is available, the morale is available!

Li Zhongyi nodded slightly with satisfaction, raised his hands high, and slashed downward, "Drive out the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains!" ”

"Drive out the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains!"

"Drive out the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains!"

"Drive out the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains!"

The roar at the scene, the sound became louder and louder, like a landslide cracking, a surging tsunami!

"Let's go!" Li Zhongyi patted his horse and jumped off the review stand, drew his sword in his hand, and pointed directly at Youzhou in the north.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

When an army of more than 100,000 troops set out, it was necessary to divide the troops to advance, Li Zhongyi led the guards in the center, Liao Shanhe led the front army to open the way, and Ma Guangda's troops were attached to the rear team to protect the logistics.

After the army crossed the river and left Bazhou, with the gradual opening of the terrain, it immediately changed to the way of marching in the shape of a zigzag, and marched towards the north with its head held high.

Today's Li Jiajun has a very rich experience in fighting with the grassland peoples. On the outermost side of the marching column were three side-by-side four-wheeled wagons, each with thick shields inlaid with iron sheets on the side walls.

The roof of the carriage was also covered with a thin layer of iron, which had only one purpose, that is, to protect against enemy rocket attacks.

The thick shields inlaid with iron sheets, without exception, were chiseled with several holes to facilitate the protrusion of spears three feet long from the holes.

These protective measures were the best way to prevent the cavalry group from attacking the large infantry formation on the march, and played a vital protective role in the previous head-to-head confrontations with the Khitans.

In this northern expedition, Li Zhongyi left the pregnant peony and Li Cuixuan in Bazhou to raise the baby, and only took Zhu Niang to travel.

Li Zhongyi's special carriages, there are four in total, all of which are specially made by the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor.

Improvements to special carriages, mainly on axles and wheels. Nowadays, in ordinary horse-drawn carriages, the axles and carriages are hard-connected, that is, the carriages are directly on the axles, and the bumps are very strong.

Li Zhongyi's special carriage is a very popular four-wheeled carriage in old Europe, the whole base is a whole, and the steering system of the front wheels is installed, and the carriage is installed on the base.

Among them, the shock absorption system is composed of more than 20 thousands of steel sheets, and compared with before, the effect of shock absorption has been greatly strengthened.

Originally, in Li Zhongyi's carriage, the cushion area was a whole thick wooden plank, and the wooden board was dragged by eight thick hemp ropes, which did not come into contact with the bottom of the car. The shock absorption performance of this carriage has been greatly improved compared with the previous one, but Li Zhongyi, who has driven a car and sat in a modern carriage, is still very dissatisfied.

Therefore, under the personal guidance of Li Zhongyi, a new generation of shock absorption system composed of more than 20 thousands of steel bars superimposed replaced the result of the suspended carriage and changed it to a four-wheeled carriage.

Both stability and shock absorption performance have been greatly improved compared with before.

The fly in the ointment is that the cost of thousands of steel bars is surprisingly high, which is a rare thing that ordinary magnates can't buy with money.

In these years, a hundred-for-one machete can already be called a rare treasure knife, let alone a thousand-refined steel machete?

Li Zhongyi sat in the car, holding a tea cup, but he thought in his heart, if he could find a rubber tree, it would be wonderful!

By wrapping the rubber around the wheels, the bumps of the carriage will be greatly reduced.

To be honest, even if it is an improved carriage, the muscles in the body will still be sore after a long ride.

Rubber trees, Li Zhongyi naturally knows the origin, Southeast Asia Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries, China's Hainan Island and other places, there are rubber trees.

Indonesia and Malaysia are too far apart for the time being to be disregarded. However, the rubber trees of Hainan Island can be obtained at your fingertips after the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed.

Today's crop production is mainly corn and wheat, millet and beans, but the problem is that the yield of these food crops is unexpectedly low.

Generally speaking, the yield of millet or wheat per mu of land is about one stone to two stones, that is, about 118 catties to 236 catties.

Su Lake is ripe, or two lakes are ripe, the slang of the world, Li Zhongyi is naturally very clear in his heart. However, the current Suhu Lake and Lianghu areas are under the control of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Li Zhongyi has also heard the story of Champa rice, isn't it the rice grown in Annan?

After the introduction of Champong rice and the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future, the in-depth development of agriculture in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region and the Lianghu region has obviously been put on the table of Li Zhongyi, and has become a reliable way to increase production that can be seen and touched.

Annam and Siam, both of which are high-yield areas for grain, not only have a suitable climate and abundant water, but also rice seeds are suitable for cultivation.

The reason why the previous Central Plains Dynasty was unable to conquer Annam was mainly due to the influence of the mountainous terrain in the northern part of Annam, which made it difficult to advance troops and maintain logistics.

However, Li Jiajun currently has the most powerful fleet in the whole of Asia, and Li Zhongyi can completely bypass the dangerous mountains such as Langshan and launch an attack directly from the sea, seizing the fertile plains that are easy to attack and difficult to defend.

As far as the current logistical supply is concerned, the terrain of Korea is relatively high, and the grain crops are only harvested once a year, or three times in two years.

In the central and southern plains of Annam, it can be harvested three times a year, and even in some southern areas, it can be harvested four times a year under the condition of continuous high temperatures.

Such a good grain base has long become a meal on the plate in Li Zhongyi's eyes, and sooner or later he will have to swallow it up.

No farming, no stability! The food issue is a big issue related to whether the people can have enough to eat, and no matter who is the ruler, we must attach great importance to it.

As long as the people are full, they will not rise up, thus triggering the dynastic cycle rate.

When Li Jiajun's side first crossed the river, the Khitan sentry had already noticed the abnormal situation and ran back to report it to Yelu Xiuge, who was stationed in Wumapo.

"What a Li Wuyi, he is really a hero!" After Yelu Hugo got the military information, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The Zuo Pi Room Army said contemptuously: "The Southern Barbarians are just chickens and dogs that wash the soil, and dare to be enemies of my Great Khitan warriors?" ”

Yelu Huge's face immediately sank, and he shouted: "How can Li Wuyi be compared to an ordinary Southern Barbarian? Have you forgotten who it was that went to the young soldier to kill the thistle? ”

Yelu Aman has always been arrogant, he only serves Brother Hugh alone, as for Li Zhongyi or Zhao Zhongyi, he is completely ignored by him.

After eating Brother Hugh's reprimand, Yelu Aman only closed his mouth helplessly, but he was panting heavily, obviously unconvinced.

Yelu Hugo narrowed his eyes, pondered carefully, and then ordered: "Order the three armies, prepare to evacuate Wumapo anytime and anywhere." ”

The right leather room army was sure to stabilize Yelu Huashan, and was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "The southern barbarians are going north, and our army will retreat immediately, doesn't this tell everyone that we are afraid of the southern barbarians?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Yelu Aman took the opportunity to follow Yelu Huashan and complained.

Yelu Hugo sighed softly and said bitterly: "Li Wuji deliberately got the sailor into the Baigou River, the purpose is to remind me that he can harass the hinterland behind our army anytime and anywhere. If the main force of our army is entangled by Li Wujiao, who will protect the plain area east of Youzhou? ”

Yelu Huashan wanted to persuade again, but Yelu Hugo pulled down his face and shouted: "Pass my military order, according to the original plan, fill the wells along the way step by step, empty the grain along the way, and leave all the hungry Han people to Li Zhongyi, I want Li Zhongyi to enter the territory of Youzhou, not only can not take half a grain of grain, but also divide a large part of the military food to his fellow Southern Barbarians, hum." ”

According to Yelu Huge's original plan, 50,000 elites were left in Youzhou City to assist the Hanchen in defending the city. He himself led the main force of the leather room army and the palace division army, and adopted the strategy of guerrilla attack and harassment, striving to drag the Li family army to a thin and crushing force, and finally give a fatal blow.

In another different time and space, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Kutuzov, with his great stride to retreat and a wide range of fortified walls, did not even want the capital Moscow, and finally dragged down and defeated the elite French army led by the emperor.

Objectively speaking, Yeluxiugo adopted Kutuzov's strategy, which seemed to have fallen into his own prestige, but it was really a brilliant strategic decisive battle concept.

Save people and lose land, people and land survive!

This simple military principle, Yelu Hugo knew what it was, and he also knew why it was true, so he viciously robbed all the Han people south of Wumapo and drove them to Li Zhongyi on the way north.

The sinister intentions of his intentions are simply outrageous!

However, the national war of different nationalities is originally an extremely cruel life-and-death struggle, and it can be done to the extreme!

History is always written by the victors!

Yelu Hugo has reason to believe that as long as the Li family army is dragged down and defeated, the thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains of the Southern Barbarian can only crawl under his horse's hooves!
